Was "psycho" Mankind from 96-97 the only wrestler to ever have separate them music for entrance and exit?

When Triple H entered to "King of Kings", he would usually leave to "The Game".

This was one of the reasons the original Mankind was so awesome.

The idea behind the two different themes was that Mankind would be at peace after he just beat the crap out of someone.

And then he had to wear a tie and create a sock puppet *sigh*  I always felt that the shirt and tie was a really cool attire that made Mankind stand out. Of course this was mid '98, when he still wore the brown sweatpants and proper boots to go along with it. By the end of his run he was wearing jeans and sneakers which just made him look... crappy and plus Foley had put on hell of alot of weight by that point. And Mankinds Outro Music? Smurfing beautiful. |

I really liked Mankind's outro. It was actually a great piece of piano playing.

Early Mankind was one of the best characters ever in wrestling. Psycho and tough, bu believeable. Plus he was the first person to show Taker could be beat without a riot squad

The idea behind the two different themes was that Mankind would be at peace after he just beat the crap out of someone. Actually I think the original idea for Mankind was that he was a piano savant who just went completely insane. So that piano piece (which is just great, BTW) at the end of his theme is probably a shoutout to that part of the gimmick that was never acknowledged when he debuted. |

Being 8 years old in 1996, that psycho Mankind gimmick legit scared the shit out of me. In retrospect, that's one of the many reasons I feel it was f***ing brilliant. And, as always, if anyone wants that piano piece Mankind used as his exit theme, you know who to PM  |
